What Governor Risk Thinks of the Stories
About Them.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. S.-Governor
Rusk was interviewed during his visit here
Monday in regard to northern dives "The
work of cleaning them out is going forward
in a satisfactory manner" he said
"Were the stories published in relation to
them true"
There might have been truth in some of
them, especially that in relation to brutalities
practiced, but most of them were greatly ex-
aggerated. All those stories published about
the entrapping of innocent girls into the dens
were without foundation in facts"
Don't you think innocent girls might have
been lured theres"
mo, do not Not single one. All the
women who went upthere-so the men whom
had working on the case inform me-were
lewd women before they went, and knew ex-
actly where they were going"

The statements which Judge Thurman is re-

his intimation that was recalled because

foundation in fact. l was not recalled ex-

The experience of all civilized conn
tries seems TO prove that, rs to classes
and masses there is very little differ
ence. The poor may die of starvation
while the rich die of excess. Dives
may catch his death of cold in spite of
his purple and fine linen, or 60 oil
suddenly through too much turtle and
too many sweetbreads. while Lazarus
may be sheltered by the wall, warmed
by the kindly dogs. and get no peri
tonitis through nibbling his stale crust
OF very dry bread.
Moreover. the conditions of vitality
are very different from what many ma
terialists seem to think. The soul OF
mind is the electric light of its inferior
partner, the body. Pneuma, not Soma,
is the head of the firm. John Bunyan
wrote his ''PilgIm's Progress" one of
the most inspired books ever written in
the English language, behind the bars
of Bedford Goal. Sir Walter Raleigh
began his History of the World" in
the gloomy wards of the Tower of Lon
don, before he wished his Bessie
Throckmorton goodbye and laid his
noble head beneath the axe of the
headsman. Even John Calvin was the
victim in his last years of nine diseases,
each of which would have sufficed to
kill anybody but the fatalist theologian
who formulated his creed in the words
"Decretum horrible fateor"-"I ac-
knowledge the horrible decree. -

The Latest Conceits in French Millinery

The Latest Conceits in French Millinery
and Elegant Dress Fabrics.
The close French bonnet promises to
hold its own the coming season, judg-
ing by the printed plates and other
models sent over as announcements of
forthcoming styles in head-gear.
Pointed, gabled and horseshoe crowns
are shown among the majority of these
shapes, and the bonnet entire is still
the diminutive toy head-dress that it
has been for two seasons past Women
who have sought to purchase a bonnet
for the genuine protection it should
afford have been in despair this winter.
Madame looked them serenely in the
face, and informed them that the old
favorite shapes they had become accus-
toned to ''were not worm" and a
bonnet any wider of crown than two
hands, put together in the shape of
shed-roof, it has been impossible to
procure at any price. Both hats and
bonnets continue to show brims cut of
all proportion to their absurdly high
crowns and face trimmings, and it now
looks as though this folly of fashion
would be carried to a still more ludi-
crous and inartistic extreme the coming
season.
Costumes of imperial serge, camel's-
hair. vigogne, tricot cloth and of fine
canvas-patternedf fabrics, without limit,
will be in great demand next season,
these made up in combination with
velvet-striped fabrics of every descrip-
ton, or with skirt and bodice trimmings
of fancy-colored satin surah, figured
with quaint geometric and convention
allied floral devices on grounds of rich,
dark colorings. The combination of
velvet with all species of tissues will
continue to be feature of costumes
for day and of toilets for evening wear
the spring and summer through. Rib
bon velvet will also be used in conjunc-
ton with veilings, tinted crepons,
r9OusSelines-de-tatne, grenadines, both
plain and fancy, and hosts of like sum-
mer textiles; these set it rows upon
kits and tunics, laid in perpendicular
bands to simulate stripes, formed into
bows and c15ous to hold drapings, as
bands and straps across pleated panels
and tabliers, and set in tiny loops all
along the edge of the underfolds of
kits, tabs and plastrons, exactly rs
the beaded edges are fastened to various

LIVING 100 YEARS.
An Inquiry Into the Art Of Lon
gevity.
Many Theories Among Psychologists
Rules Will Not Always Protect, but
Excess of Misrule is Sure to
Shorten Life.

The late death of Mrs. Margaret De-
laney at nearly 101 years of age, in
Brooklyn, a few days ago, suggests the
often debated but always interesting
question of the normal duration of
human life. Button and some other
authorities on animal life have said
that the life of every animal should last
five or six times as long as the period
of its growth. The ratio generally
accepted is five. Thus, man takes
twenty years to grow in and should
therefore live to 100. With proper
care. however, and regular habits as to
sleep and diet. many scientists see no
reason why at least half century more
might not be added to the healthy
.iver's century. Heller placed the limit
at little short of 200 years. Old Parr
is credited with having lived to the age
of 1872. There is often great difficulty
in ascertaining the exact age. If the fire.
Quent reports of the death ages of very
old colOred persons who in early life
had been slaves be reliable it would
seem as if that race were longer lived
than our own. If history be exact in
its statements of longevity the duration
q life varies according to the lapse of
ages as we'll as civilization AID climate
An old Egyptian monument states that
110was the limit in that country. Some
of the Old Testament estimates are hard
b credit. Nethusel&h, for instance,
must have had the toughest sort of a
constitution. Abraham was content
with los years. Joseph filled exactly
the Egyptian estimate. The Nine
tieth Psalm, which is attributed to
Moses, gives 20 as the limit of vital
energy.
The differences in the views even of
physicians as to the best means of
keeping the clockwork of life going are
almost as great as the original differ
ence in the timepieces themselves.
Some people think it necessary to eat
three or four meals day in order to
keep their lives agoing, while others
declare that the chief destroyer of life
and health is food itself. When a sleek,
well fed man called on Abernethy and
complained of a general break up in his
health, the quaint old Esculapius said:
<Give up your dinners; live on sixpence
a day and earn it, The ancients
We're generally content with two square
meals day, the prandiuns and the cossa,
and many modern philosophers have
found that they feel much lighter
and more comfortable when they
eat only twice in the twenty
four hours. Others, on the contrary,
both physicians and laymen, whenever
they see person in weak health recon-
mend more food, and when the dys-
peptic answers that tough beef does

Enjoyment and Amusement.

There is radical difference between
enjoyment and amusement. He whose
chief effort in life is to be amused, gen.
orally fails to find much real enjoyment;
while he whose life is most truly joy
Gus seldom feels the want of amuse-
ment. True joy is a serious matter"
says Seneca; but it is a more serious
matter to be so in need of real joy that
one must be habitually seeking amuse-
ment as a source of that COY, or
as a substitute for it. We must first SEQ
the serious side of life before we can
enjoy life.-IS. S. Times.

Cement Made From Stag.

Anew method of making cement from
blast-furnace Stag has been recently
described. While the Stag is in
molten condition it is run into water
and thereby reduced to state of inc
powder. After being ground and
screened, this powdered Stag has added
to it a certain proportion of slaked
lime. The mixture is next laced in a
machine which thoroughly Incorporates
its particles. This machine consists of
a revolving drum containing a number
of metal balls, and it is the constant
crushing action of these balls which re-
duces the mixture submitted TO them
to a state of the finest possible division.
1t is claimed that this thorough mixing
gives to the cement a tensile strength
almost double that of cement prepared
without the help of the machine.-M
